Robin Vos appears to be following a Republican playbook in his quest to limit Gov.-elect Tony Evers’ power once in office. The North Carolina Legislature did the same thing in 2016.
The latest internet outrage du jour is the photo of a bunch of boys from Baraboo High School posing for a photo before prom while possibly giving the Nazi salute.
Based on the Democrats’ statewide success in last Tuesday’s election, it’s safe to say that more voters came out to support Democratic candidates than their Republican counterparts. With that being the case, how did the Republicans increase their firm grip on the Legislature while losing five statewide contests?
Democrats in 2018 got 54% of vote yet only 36 Wisconsin Assembly seats, while Republicans got 45% of the vote and 63 seats.
After last week’s election, our liberal-progressive-socialist acquaintances are pouting. They finally unseated that Republican golem, Scott Walker, but still lost the state legislature to Republicans. Got to be cheating! What else would explain the imbalance except that ol’ devil Gerry Mander?
An emotional and closely divided election is a fitting end to Scott Walker’s contentious career as Wisconsin’s governor this past Tuesday night.
In a recent column, Washington Post “center right” columnist and blogger Jennifer Rubin bluntly accused Trump of being responsible for the Tree of Life synagogue killings.
Given Giampietro’s clear qualifications, he should be confirmed to fill the current vacancy and help expedite the important work of Wisconsin’s federal judges.
When inmates have an education or training as they’re leaving an institution, they’re more than 40 percent less likely to re-offend. Plus, they become contributing, taxpaying members of our society.
How could such a skilled, well-funded politician get defeated? Here’s 10 reasons.
Baraboo school officials should require every boy in that horrifying photo of all those smiling teens giving the Heil Hitler salute to be sent on a chaperoned trip, and fast, to the Holocaust Museum and World War II Memorial In Washington, DC.
Democrats won every statewide contest in Wisconsin on Nov. 6, taking a Senate seat and five constitutional offices. The last time Democrats swept a Senate seat and a full slate of statewide posts was in 1982, when the party was at the peak of its strength in the modern era.
It’s time for the esteemed former Wisconsin GOP Governor Tommy Thompson to talk sense to the GOP state legislative leadership. Wisconsinites voted for change and for the state to move forward.
Carrie A. Meyer’s book, “Letters From the Boys,” shows America’s veterans aren’t monolithic.
Evers sought the governorship as a champion of the Wisconsin Idea.
We’re in an era of divided government. That means Republicans must make the case for why they should be allowed back into the governor’s mansion.
WisconsinEye’s Steven Walters looks at what’s next in state government following the midterms.
In a two-part series, blogger David Blaska shares his post-mortem on Tuesday’s election outcomes.
In Wisconsin, GOP-initiated election suppression is moving from voter ID and election-day pressures to post-election nullification.
Henry Lippold, who died last month at 89, built UW-Eau Claire’s broadcast journalism department from the ground up in the early ’70s.
